HERE IN JOHN 8 moron!!! I even posted a whole sermon from a well respected 3rd party that directly answers your question in the same way I did!!! they even took it a step further and said the people throwing stones not only had to be in good standing, but WITHOUT SIN completely!!!
The whole "cast the first stone" story is (apart from an attempt to show that Jesus is more clever than the pharisees) is for Jesus to make the claim to both be the only one good enough to condemn sins, but also the only one good enough to forgive sins.
The story is not specifically about adultery or stone throwing. The story is about Jesus.
